I find it incomprensible that any organisation that is involved in international/cross border trade doesn't want to implment some sort of region control.Maybe, it is the U.S. roots of ebay that is responsible as in World Serries competitions that only involves one country; the U.S.A. But not just the members of the board, at least some of the middle manager of a large company like ebay must surely have used passports and are aware that people buy and sell things outside of the U.S. and they must be aware that boarders matter in International trade.I have been searching for ways of filtering on the basis of geography but the engine seems to be prepared to do anything to avoid it. You can't even sort on the basis of region that to me sounds crazy.I used to live in the UK where ebay.co.uk was massive and you could get anthing from anywhere without having to deal with another country or even pay for the shipping. Unfortunately, Brexit came along and totally messed that up.Since I left and live in continental Europe, I have found out that importing anything from outside of the zone is a nightmare. After all the EU is a regulatary super power.So, please correct me if I am wrong but an ebay.eu is just common sense as somewhere you would go and only see EU sellers. After all if you don't mind cross boarder trade why even visit ebay.eu. Ebay.com with be just as good ESPECIALLY if there was a strong, rgiourusly controlled region filter.But there is hardy any such filter and if there is you can hardly find it and if you do, it seems to insist on not working.It keeps comming up with sellers outside of EU, as if trying to tempt you like a female hitchhiker on the road when there were any of them.It keeps showing me sellers from Japan!!!. That sellers shoudn't even be there. At most the query should lead to a link to ebay.com or ebay.co.uk or ebay in Katmandu. It really doesn't matter as long as it isn't inside the EU. Even near me sorting shows up with Chinese sellers on the top.So, I would like to know why? Why there isn't a more rigorous control. Are the sellers finding ways around it for advertising sake or it is Ebay's laiser fair attitude. There is definately a need for EU only seller along with a special course for Ebay seller in EU that ironically should be thaught by a British.May be the Europen sellers are not as clever as the British and they should be encouraged to learn.Before, Brexit you could get anything on ebay.co.uk for free deiverly. It might be coming from China but the paper work and the extra shipping cost didn't figure into it. The only difference was that you had to wait a little longer but you would get your money back either through ebay or as part of the consumer protection act available to you locally in the U.K. That was the best thing about the U.K. and they went and destroyed it. Surely just the number of failed searches is an indicator of demand that in turn could ask for different solutions. I mean not everyone needsa subsidury or a branch. Sometime once a month trip to the source could be enough to meet the demand.But first there needs to be a way to filter regions properly.
